Abstract

The Embodiment of Perfection explores the diverse reasons behind the various beauty standards present in the different cultures that have transformed throughout the years, presenting a spectrum of tools and products that people have used to achieve the ideal beauty standard through all these distinct periods in time. Some of these objects are used daily, in the modern age, despite the fact that these objects may leave significant side effects when used on the human body. This series shows the amount of risk that people, significantly women, have to put themselves through in their search for the ultimate perfection in beauty.
